After a fast-paced acquisition, Schneider Electric faced integration challenges across systems, teams, and culture. With limited time for due diligence, the business needed a strategic model to reduce onboarding delays, protect talent, and align with global systems fast.
Solution
Fit-for-purpose integration governance
Toptal deployed an experienced M&A integration specialist to design a customized Integration Management Office (IMO). This model facilitated cross-functional coordination, managed early-stage risks, and ensured alignment with Schneider’s global processes and tools.
Strategic execution and long-term planning
Over the course of six months, the team worked closely with internal stakeholders to resolve critical technical and operational blockers. Within the first 30 days, product development efforts were already underway. By day 90, a long-term organizational strategy was in place to guide future scaling and cross-functional collaboration.
Outcome
Stabilized operations during integration
This engagement enabled Schneider Electric to maintain business continuity and minimize disruption during a complex integration process. Key systems were aligned, onboarding progressed, and immediate operational risks were mitigated under tight timelines.
A framework for future integrations
By combining Agile execution with M&A expertise, Toptal helped Schneider Electric lay the groundwork for a scalable integration strategy. While the broader success of the acquisition faced headwinds, the partnership helped inform future playbooks for managing integrations under similarly accelerated conditions.
